Can this product be poured into the cleanout pipe, outside the house, or is there any specific reason it should be poured into the toilet? Thanks

I pour mine into the toilet because I have roots that specifically grow near one of my bathrooms. Pouring it directly into the cleanout would (possibly) cause it to not hit the roots since it they are a distance away from each other. Other than that, I see no issue of pouring it directly into the pipe.

I believe the only reason it is recommended to be poured into the toilet is so one can flush the toilet - thus pushing the foam furhter into the pipes. I don't, personally, see any reason why you could not pour it directly into an outside cleanout pipe.

From what I read, it seems to depend on where you think the clog is. One container will foam about 50 ft of pipe. If you don't think you can hit the clog from the toilet, you will have to use the cleanout. I used the clean out regardless. I don't need herbicide in my drain pipes, I need it in the main sewer line!

This is about the only thing I've found that you can use in toilets. As long as you have a little bit of water flow, it works great. You put a scoop in a container, add warm (not hot) tap water, give it a stir and pour it in your toilet. Flush, and then let it sit for several hours. It works great. If water flow is still sluggish, do it again. I usually use it double strength on sluggish drains and toilets, and it clears them right out!

I believe it is meant for sink drains only, I personally would not put it into a toilet.

Yes it worked great in my plastic pipes & also metal pipes. I don't get any kick backs from the company but this is the best stuff I have found for unplugging drains. I have used it for over ten years. I used to get it from a plumber as I couldn't buy it myself, but now it is available online. I pour it in the drain run hot water until it dissolves, which is only a matter of seconds & then shut the door & leave. When I return in 15-20 minutes there is no noticeable smell. Sometimes it may take a second treatment but it has never failed me.

That's a big no......you won,t need it....use the chemicals and just pour into any toilet..... Add water from water hose to complete cleaning of holding tank.

It is not waterproof for outside installation. It should be installed on indoor part of pipe.

Do not do not do not (do not) dump it down a sink, especially not a stainless steel sink. I dumped mine in my RV sink and it ate through the steel finish. Follow the instructions and only flush it down the toilet.

Hellow R. Dowling, I have asked the same question myself and have never got an answer. I just make sure that it's not in any area that's available to children. Treat it as any household cleaner.

I think it'd be okay to flush a few pellets (for example, sweeping stray ones off the floor) but I wouldn't dispose of large amounts in the toilet. I just dump the entire contents of the litter box every other day (no scooping-- just throw everything away). Refilling the box with a thin layer of these pellets every other day is comparable in price to carving out pee blocks from clumping cat litter, or sifting poops from the crystals, and it's much easier.

Mine is about a foot outside the house. The main sewer line is out front of my house, and there is a large (8"?) cleanout there by the street. Our personal cleanout is in line with that, right below the closest bathroom to the front. It's also the original bathroom in my old house. You can ask your local government or your neighbors which way the main sewer line is, and if you walk around your house and think of where the closest place is to connect to that line, you'll be able to find the cleanout just under the level of your lawn. Once you believe it's there, it's just a matter of time till you find it. :) Mine is about a foot outside the house.

It is not intended to clean pipes. It works in the septic tank where it takes hours to weeks to do its job. The shower is one way to get it to the septic tank, but the toilet is usually easier.

This product is used by sewers as a temporary fixative only. Yes, it will wash out completely.

Ours is hooked up to a sewer clean out that connects with municiple service. Our clean out opening is in (to my mind) too public of a space (next to my kitchen door), but when we needed a new sewer line a few years back, we had to go with the path with the fewest obstacles. Our sewer line goes to a pumping station located further out in our yard then gets pumped (think GINORMOUS sump system) up to the city sewer line running behind our house. That pump is why I do not put poop that has gathered rocks or sticks. This product is wonderful and if I could improve it, I would make the lid handle longer for even easier use. Hope this helps!

We use ours at some property in the mountains. We usually just dig a hole in the woods and dump it. You could however take it home and dump it in the toilet.

Hi Erica. Sorry for late reply. It is meant to be disposed of in the trash. I do not flush it. But it covers the potty well and I feel that my child is safewhen I use it. Hope this helps.

Ours is attached to the toilet. That way the waste is sprayed directly in, then i can flush it away. It works great.

This requires a multifaceted answer. First of all, how large is the sediment your well draws in? These filters are available in several different screen or mesh filter sizes. If it is sandy, you need to compare the size of the sand to the micron size of the filter element. I'd say this is the most important research that you need to do. Next I'd ask how much sand gets drawn in say daily, then over the course of a week. Thus could be determined by how much sand is in your toilet tanks, (when you take the lid off and look inside); then how often do you clean the screens on the washer? Lastly, do you see sand in the faucet arreaters? If the answer is a great deal to any of the above questions, I would advise you to get a filter which is one pipe size larger then then waterline coming from your pressure pump/ inlet to your house. This will allow a longer time between flushing intervals of the filter. I have used them in this application in the past, with great results for our customers. If it is installed correctly, the drain on the bottom would be run to the outside,or a nearby drain. Be sure to install a union on the drain line to allow for occasional disassembly. When the filter shows signs of being clogged- sediment in the bottom, color in the screen; then you flush it out for 1-2 minutes, until clear. I hope this helps you. I am a plumber in northern Arizona, and would recommend this item.
